Buried deep beneath Gotham City there exists another Gotham. This Gotham Below is a living nightmare, populated by twisted mirrors of our Gotham’s denizens, fueled by the fear and hatred flowing down from
above. For decades, the doorway between the cities has been sealed and heavily guarded by the Court of Owls. But now the door swings wide, and the twisted version of the Dark Knight has escaped…to trap and train a Robin of his own. Batman must form an uneasy alliance with the Court and its deadly allies to stop him—and to hold back the wave of twisted super-villains, nightmarish versions of his own nemeses, each one worse than the last, that’s spilling into his streets!
Visionary writer-artist Christian Ward unleashes his cosmic-horror take on Batman’s world, in a tribute to disturbing Dark Knight classics like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Gothic! You’ll never look at Batman’s villains the same way again…you simply won’t have the stomach for it!

Batman: City of Madness #2
The Court of Owls summons Batman, demanding he venture deep beneath the city to fight what has been unleashed from its depths: a wave of madness infecting Gotham’s villains, driven by the monstrous creature they’re calling “the Batman Below.” But the Court has not-entirely-noble reasons for wanting this chaos stopped… Is Batman their weapon, or their bait?

De jolies propositions à venir chez Urban ( oui, je pourrais lire en anglais , non je préfère le confort de ma langue maternelle. Je garde l’anglais pour ma petite amie irlando-britannique qui est une vraie Barbara Gordon - ça doit être ma grosse voix quand j’avais une trachéite qui l’a séduite, je vois que ça…depuis, je perds tout mon fric en pastilles pour la gorge, j’ai peur qu’elle apprenne que j’étais malade quand on s’est rencontré… ).
